Commonly known as the Golden Barrel Cactus, Echinocactus grusonii is one of the most iconic and beloved cacti in cultivation. Native to central Mexico, it forms a perfectly rounded, ribbed globe covered in golden-yellow spines that glow beautifully in sunlight. As it ages, it can grow impressively large and even produce a crown of yellow flowers in summer. With its bold symmetry and bright colour, it’s a staple in desert landscaping and serious cactus collections alike.
